PIREPS

Ron Blehm

War and Peace, A Tale of Two Cities, Flounder's July PIREP... Flounder's PIREP??? In what The Cubflounder understatedly calls a tale of epic proportions, we follow him along his way to Carrier Ops training. Click here to see if he actually made it.

Salina Chan

Mystery, intrigue, excitement and strange airplanes... What more could you want in a PIREP? Skygirl takes a little break from driving the heavies around the skies long enough to take on a special mission. Join the debriefing session here.

Alastair Monk

(Sound of claxon blaring in the background...) Aircraft overboard... aircraft overboard. All hands to rescue detail! Although a skilled virtual aviator, our friend Alastair Monk managed to send a nice section of classics to a watery grave. Read the obituaries here.

Brad Quiring

With his trusted right-seater/rear-seater along for the adventure, Captain Quiring (Canadian-Peruvian Naval Reserves) pretty much single handedly makes the world safe for freedom and democracy this month. Check in here to see if you are buying any of it!

Bill Smith

We somehow managed to get Bill back from his parallel universe long enough complete his Carrier training. Did he really show up for duty in a Triple Seven? Find out right here in his latest postcards.

Peter Stark

For something a little different this month, Peter has assigned us to to Carrier Operations duty. We all get to try our hand at landing a speeding airplane on the equivalent of someone's driveway. Get your orders here.
